Great place for kids! A bit overbooked on New Years Eve but I get it. Could have had a better New Years Eve party for the kids and parents. Some of the Hotels in the Dells blow you outta the water. With that said Great Wold Lodge is still one of our faves just better to go on slower days!

I think it's a bit ridicules to pay for parking for this location. Absolutely no reason for it. The high prices at this location serve enough that there should be no reason for this organization to just make a money grab out of the situation. Were a bit disappointed in the their so called "Holiday Christmas dinner" pretty much a waste of time, money. If I do chose to stay here again. I would definitely rethink my food expenditures.
